Romney woos Florida early vote; Obama eyes NH

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) ? Juggling politics and storm preparations, Mitt Romney dangled a plea for bipartisanship before early voters in Florida on Saturday as Barack Obama worked to nail down tiny New Hampshire's four electoral votes. Both campaigns scrambled to steer clear of a most unlikely October surprise, a superstorm barreling up the East Coast.

With just 10 days left in an extraordinarily tight race, Hurricane Sandy had both campaigns ripping up carefully mapped-out itineraries as they worked to maximize voter turnout and avoid any suggestion that they were putting politics ahead of public safety.

The campaigns pressed every possible angle in search of advantage ? even paying attention to punctuation.

Obama's campaign signs for months have said: "Forward." Now they say: "Forward!"

Romney, who has been striking a more moderate tone as he courts women and independents in the campaign's home stretch, campaigned across Florida with a pledge to "build bridges" with the other party.

He coupled that message with digs at Obama for "shrinking from the magnitude of the times" and advancing an agenda that lacks vision. Noting that Obama supporters like to chant "four more years" at the president's campaign rallies, Romney picked up on his crowd's own chant at the Pensacola Civic Center and said: "I like '10 more days' a lot better."

His warm-up act was more biting: Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told the crowd that Obama was advancing "the ideas of countries that people come here to get away from." Pressed later on what countries he was referring to, Rubio said, "any big-government country in the world" and specifically referred to Mexico and Latin America.

Obama hauled his campaign to New Hampshire, where he told volunteers at a Teamsters hall in Manchester that: "We don't know how this thing is going to play out. These four electoral voters right here could make all the difference."

It takes 270 electoral votes to win the election. Obama is ahead in states and the District of Columbia representing 237 electoral votes; Romney has a comfortable lead in states with 191 electoral votes. The rest lie in nine contested states that are too close to call, New Hampshire among them.

The president adjusted his campaign speech at a Nashua rally to appeal to voters in low-tax New Hampshire, hammering Romney for raising taxes and fees as governor of neighboring Massachusetts.

Obama accused Romney of running in Massachusetts on a pledge to lower taxes, then making life more expensive for the middle class after taking office.

"All he's offering is a big rerun of the same policies," Obama told a crowd of 8,500 gathered at an outdoor rally on an unseasonably warm October day.

The president said Romney even raised fees in Massachusetts on obtaining a birth certificate, "which would have been expensive for me." It was a veiled reference to opponents of the president who have incorrectly said he was born outside the United States. Copies of his birth certificate have been in high demand.

The candidates worked to lock down every possible early vote without intruding on emergency preparations as the storm's expected track looked to affect at least four battleground states: North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and New Hampshire.

Romney scrapped plans to campaign in Virginia on Sunday, and switched his schedule for the day to Ohio. Michelle Obama canceled an appearance in New Hampshire set for Tuesday.

Vice President Joe Biden canceled a Saturday rally in coastal Virginia Beach, Va., to allow local officials there to focus on disaster preparedness and local security concerns.

But he went ahead with an appearance in Lynchburg, which is inland, and told supporters that Romney was "changing the whole deal" as he shifts tone in the campaign's closing days. He called the GOP nominee's positions "Etch a Sketchy."

Plans for son Beau Biden, the Delaware attorney general, to join his father in Virginia were scrapped when he was called up by the National Guard to help with the storm.

None of Obama's campaign stops had been canceled, but he did adjust move up his planned Monday departure for Florida to Sunday night to beat the storm.

En route to New Hampshire, Obama held an airborne conference call with administration officials about the federal government's role in minimizing storm damage and a ensuring speedy recovery effort.

Campaign spokesman Jennifer Psaki said the Obama team was continuing to promote early voting as something that provides flexibility for busy families, but she added that with the storm headed for shore, "safety comes first, and that's the case with early voting as well."

Romney's trip to Florida, with three events across the state, was timed to coincide with the first day of in-person early voting in a state that went for Obama four years ago and where 29 electoral votes are up for grabs this time. Both campaigns already have been working furiously to gain the advantage in the state's vote-by-mail program, an area where Republicans typically have been stronger.

Romney's warm-up speakers in Pensacola, Rubio and Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla., encouraged supporters to make a beeline from the rally to early voting stations.

Republican Rep. Paul Ryan worked his way across rainy, chilly Ohio, on a two-day bus trip, with his family in tow. At a factory in New Philadelphia, Ryan stressed the hit that manufacturing industries have taken over the last four years and promised more coal jobs, natural gas jobs and increased military spending if Romney is elected.

Speaking to more than 1,000 supporters on the factory floor at Gradall Industries, Ryan told voters: "You know it's you. You know what you have in front of you. You know your responsibility."

Campaign 2012 was serious business, with so little time left and the storm complicating the end game, but Ryan's children helped to lighten the tone. His 7-, 9- and 10-year-olds scampered between parts bins and heavy chains at the factory.

Nine-year-old Charlie waved the peace sign and mugged for cameras, prompting his mother, Janna Ryan, to shake her head and declare, "I don't know where he gets it. It's kind of crazy."

During a later stop at a bakery in Circleville, Ohio, 10-year-old daughter Liz told the bakery clerk that her dad was "sugar-free except for doughnuts and ice cream."

"And apple-fritters," Ryan agreed.

Obama, for his part, made a stop at the Common Man Merrimack, a restaurant where he toasted patrons with a Common Man Ale, saying: "To voting. To America. Doesn't matter what party."

The campaigns and their allies kept up a steady stream of TV and radio ads in the battleground states. The right-leaning Americans for Job Security made a rare purchase of Philadelphia airtime, amounting to $1.2 million, for pro-Romney ads. While a few independent groups have tried to make Pennsylvania competitive for Romney, neither Obama nor Romney has devoted ad resources to the state, which is expected to go for Obama.

Study demonstrates impact of adversity on early life development

Friday, October 26, 2012

It is time to put the nature versus nurture debate to rest and embrace growing evidence that it is the interaction between biology and environment in early life that influences human development, according to a series of studies recently published in a special edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

"Biologists used to think that our differences are pre-programmed in our genes, while psychologists argued that babies are born with a blank slate and their experience writes on it to shape them into the adults they become. Instead, the important question to be asking is, 'How is our experience in early life getting embedded in our biology?'" says University of Toronto behavioural geneticist Marla Sokolowski. She is co-editor of the PNAS special edition titled "Biological Embedding of Early Social Adversity: From Fruit Flies to Kindergarteners" along with professors Tom Boyce (University of British Columbia) and Gene Robinson (University of Illinois).

Sokolowski, who is a University Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEB), the inaugural academic director of Uof T's Fraser Mustard Institute for Human Development and co-director of the Experience-based Brain and Biological Development Program (EBBD) at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) says that relatively little is known about the gene-environment interplay that underlies the impact of early life adversity on adult health and behaviour.

In one of the studies in the series, Sokolowski and her colleagues found that chronic food deprivation and lack of adequate nutrition in the early life of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster had significant impact on adult behaviour and quality of life. Fruit flies are especially useful for genetic studies because they share a surprising number of qualities with humans, are inexpensive to care for and reproduce rapidly, allowing for several generations to be studied in just a few months.

The researchers examined two types of fruit flies with variants in the foraging gene (for) known as rovers and sitters because of their different behaviours in the presence of food.

When well fed as larvae, rover adults exhibit darting exploration into open areas as they move about in search of food, while sitters show little of this behaviour. When nutritionally deprived as larvae, both rover and sitter adults exhibit darting exploration. Further, the sitters that faced nutritional adversity in early life displayed a reduction in their ability to reproduce. Rovers exhibited no effect on their reproductive fitness.

"The foraging gene makes an enzyme called PKG, which is found in the fly as well as in most other organisms, including humans. When faced with a nutritionally adverse environment while growing up, the levels of the enzyme dropped in flies," says Sokolowski. "This told us that the foraging gene listens to its environment." Transgenic manipulations of PKG levels altered darting exploration in well fed but not nutritionally deprived flies.

The research team included James Burns, a CIFAR junior fellow in Sokolowski's lab, U of T EEB professor Locke Rowe and EEB post-doctoral fellow Nicolas Svetec, as well as colleagues from the Universitiy of British Columbia and the Universit? Paris-Sud. The findings are reported in the paper "Chronic food deprivation in early life affects adult exploratory and fitness traits, in the October 16, 2012 issue of the Proceedings of the Nataional Academy of Science.

The papers in the volume are authored largely by CIFAR researchers, and comprise a multidisciplinary collection of research into fields from molecular genetics, evolutionary biology and neuroscience, to social and behavioural science, epidemiology and social policy ? as well as the emerging field of epigenetics, which investigates deviations in a gene's ability to produce its products (e.g. RNA, protein) caused by mechanisms other than changes in an organism's underlying DNA sequence.

The collection of papers in the volume sets out an emerging new field of the developmental science of childhood adversity, and changes conventional understanding of the early years of human life.

"This is the first volume of collected research to provide a substantial and comprehensive picture of the interaction between experience and biology in the early years," says Sokolowski.

"Developmental neuroscience is extraordinarily intricate and complex, and so by approaching this question from multiple angles we're able to reveal a convergence on a number of themes and set a clearer direction for future research."

20 Women On Advertising's Poach List - Business Insider

When we published our list of the 30 most powerful women in advertising, we also asked agencies and people in the marketing biz to tell us which women at competing shops they most admire or would love to hire, given a chance.

Click here to see who made the list>

From those confidential nominations, we've compiled this poach list of the most-wanted women in creative, management and account management.

Some of the names on our list are big-hitters who control major agencies, like Susan Gianinno, chairman and CEO of Publicis. How likely is it that she could be tempted to leave for another agency?

Well, consider that a select few big shops are looking to bolster their top talent. Earlier this month, we reported that DraftFCB CEO Laurence Boschetto is looking outside his agency for a new chief creative officer.

Furthermore, things have been in flux at McCann NY since Lori Senecal moved on to what's now Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners in 2009. Thom Gruhler stepped into her shoes as McCann's NY president for two years, before he exited to take on another role in the company. Colleagues told Ad Age he would be out by spring, which proved to be true when he moved on to Microsoft.

These women could fill any power vacuum.

Brain Cancer Research for Finding a Cure | All About Finance

Posted by Eric Santucci on Rating 9.0 ?Outstanding

Due to the drastic increases in medical science over the past few years, there is much we are able to ascertain about the human body and much more regarding diseases and illnesses that, years ago, we didn?t know about. With this comes the shocking realization that there are life-threatening diseases out there that impact millions of people, foremost amongst them, brain cancer. This revelation has not inspired much confidence because of just how serious this disease is and how many lives it?s taken and threatened to take. Luckily though, there are many groups standing up against it and seeking out ways to treat or, eventually, cure brain cancer and find better means of brain cancer research.

The first step in the quest to cure brain cancer and find more research methods to lead to that cure is to raise awareness. All the efforts to find a cure will be for naught if people are not brought on board to contribute with volunteer work or grants to fund medical science. But, groups devoted to seeking out new research for brain cancer are trying to raise awareness through social media and by hosting public events which may extend information regarding the disease to the public so that they know truthfully what this cancerous disease is capable of.

Another necessary bridge to cross is trying to string in far more grants and donations that may be contributed to increased research and more events to raise awareness. Without this, it wouldn?t be possible for the research projects to brain cancer cures to flourish. Good brain cancer organizations such as Voices For Brain Cancer are looking to bring in more beneficial donations to fund this cause.

The efforts to attain brain cancer cures and research require active participation by both the research groups and the potential donors. This has to be a collective effort that everyone must be fully committed to. The first hurdle is getting past the misguided idea that brain cancer research is an insurmountable goal that won?t be achieved anytime soon or that the common person cannot help this cause. Every single donation or effort makes a difference.

The struggle to find a permanent cure for brain cancer is a long a strenuous one that may not happen overnight. Many groups of people must work together to raise awareness of and try to find medical treatments for this awful disease. Thankfully, there are groups of people devoted to informing the general public about this disease so that others may join the fight to combat it and find new research methods toward a cure.

Hello! I'm Ducky! I'm a duck, and my human typist and I are looking for someone to rp with! My typist is a student (she does high school AND college, right now, so she gets kind of busy), so she can't always be on her computer, but she gets on as much as she can, and will always try to get in a post at least once a day! Some days, though, she just can't get on to type up posts for either of us, and she asks that you be patient and understanding. We'll be patient with you if you do the same for us. :)

No, on to the good stuff. We're looking for a couple of partners, so don't be shy! If we don't have time, we'll politely tell you, I promise. I really like fantasy and action such, but my human likes realistic and historical plots. Either way, I think one of us would be a great fit for you! We both really like romance (we are both female, after all), but it isn't necessary for the plot, generally though, we like it to be there. Though a completely platonic rp is more than welcome. The typist and I can play both male and female characters, with straight and homosexual (yes, gay or lesbian) relationships being possible. But the typist doesn't write sex scenes... Ever.

Th typist and I have storylines, not pairings, so romance can either be added or ignored. However, we simply have too many stories to list out here, and we don't want to type out a few for you to see. Why? Because we don't want you to just pick one out and say you want to do it. We want to work with you to make the plot belong to you, as well!

The typist says she generally writes anywhere between 4 and 7 paragraphs, though she occasionally will write more of less than that depending on what you give her, and her level of inspiration. But don't let that scare you! She's a real quality over quantity type! So if you can only write a paragraph or two, but write them really well, she'd still love to rp with you! She's really nice, and only bites when she feels threatened, so don't be afraid to talk with her! So reply here or send me a message if you want to rp with us!

Hope to hear from you!
-Ducky (and her typist)
